Thanksgiving weekend was a lovely, crazy little whirlwind.
To put it in CliffsNotes form:
Turkey dinner with my family on Thursday. Fleeing in the middle of the night back to Boston with Sissy and Lukey the Wonder Nephew, who it turns out had contracted a nasty ear infection just in time for his very first birthday. One fender bender on Mass Ave on Friday on the way to turkey dinner with Hubby's family, who'd flown in from California, Louisiana and Arizona. Happy Birthday's on Friday to Dad, Nanny and Lukey the Wonder Baby!! Lukey's 1st birthday bonanza on Saturday, then visiting and Scrabble on Saturday night with Hub's family. (The Broad used all seven of her letters on guardian and won the game. That's fifty extra points, y'all!) Our weekend concluded with a special service for aunt Kathy, who was ordained as a reverend yesterday.
On the way to Luke's party on Saturday I turned the dial to Oldies 103.3 so I could serenade my husband with Christmas cheer. (Apparently they've been playing nothing but Christmas tunes since after Halloween.) As we drove along, Lukey's gift wrapped up in Sesame Street paper in the back seat, I felt an overwhelming wave of happiness wash over me. Life was...wonderful.
So much has changed since November 28th of last year, the day that precious little baby came into our lives. Sometimes it really blows my mind. Our Thanksgivings in New York were happy, relaxed occasions that I will always look back fondly on. (Like the time we discovered a frozen turkey requires longer than an hour or two to thaw. We ate chicken that year.)
But lovely, crazy little whirlwinds are nice, too. xoxo
